Mele Mahogany Cut-Away Tenor-6 String

$649.00 – $948.00

Here is a solid all mahogany wonderful-sounding tenor-sized ukulele. Mahogany wood offers a warm, mellow tone. The mahogany sides and back are cut, shaped and bent by hand. The Spanish-style construction, and the meticulous graduation and fan-bracing of the top all add to the impressive tonal quality. The hand-carved 19-fret neck is of strong, stable mahogany with ebony on the headstock. The proprietary Mele non-adjustable steel truss rod allows the neck to be amazingly slim and comfortable without fear of warpage. Here’s some info about dimensions, # of frets, etc. http://reviews.ebay.com/The-Ukulele-Hawaii-apos-s-gift-to-the-world_W0QQugidZ10000000000865181

Please note that this, like all Mele ukuleles, is ENTIRELY BUILT BY HAND, out of SOLID WOOD- NO LAMINATES! If you’ve shopped around, you know that a brand-new ENTIRELY HANDMADE solid wood Tenor Ukulele under $1000 is UNHEARD OF- especially one like this one with ebony bridge, fingerboard and binding, lifetime warranty, and individual fret job (leveling, crowning and polishing) and setup by one of Hawaii’s top luthiers! The slim hand-carved neck and ebony fingerboard makes each Mele a joy to play, and we’re world-reknowned for our great action and precise intonation.

P.S. Upgrade to a hardcase ($70 soprano, $80 concert, $90 tenor, $100 baritone/guitarlele), and a humidifier (recommended for dry climates), extra strings, or whatever you like, for the best prices anywhere – call us for details!

Description

Identical in every way to our traditional-style mahogany tenor, except for the addition of a cutaway providing easier access to the upper frets and professional look. Entirely handmade professional-quality instrument at a fraction of the price of any other brand-new handmade solid mahogany tenor we’ve seen anywhere.

The tenor is the size you’ll see the pros playing at luau shows & recording sessions. This one is entirely handmade of choice Big Island Koa wood (aged 2 to 5 years on Maui) with ebony fingerboard, binding & bridge.
